    Systemic issues are not appropriately solved at an individual level.

    Make that a mantra and repeat it continuously

        I’d disagree. Even from a pretty neoliberal kind of economics, fast fasion doesn’t factor environmental “externalities” (i.e. the cost doesn’t include environmental destruction) so it’s massively undepriced, which artificially punps up demand for fast fashion.

        In other words, the issue is caused by the way the system is set up. I.e. it’s a systemic issue.

            Yeah but ever talked to someone who orders drom temu and similar companies? Yeah it’s crap, but it’s cheap. I’ll just order one in 5 sizes, still cheaper than a normal shirt.
